COMBINED SIGN BRACKET AND FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 488,092, dated December 13, 1892. Application filed November 10. 1891. Serial No. mass. (it; model.)

integral, each section being fitted to the next section by a miter-joint and the side sections being rabbeted or grooved to receive the sign.

The sign is intended especially for outdoor attachment to pillars or posts and the corners of stores or entrances thereto or any other like suitable location in which it is of great importance that there should not be any joint between the front or rear portions of the sign for the inroads of the weather.

My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure I is a perspective view of my improved sign having miter-joints. Fig. II is a vertical section taken on the line II II, Fig. III. Fig. III is a horizontal section taken on the line III III, Fig. II.

The sign is constructed with integral side sections 1 and integral end sections 2, fitted together by miter-joints, 3 being the sides and 4 being the ends of the bracket portion and 5 being the sides and 6 being the ends of the frame portion of the sign. The ends are provided with notches or angular cuts 7 for the reception of a pillar or corner of a structure to which it may be attached.

8 are the miter-joints.

The frame portions of the side sections are formed with longitudinal rabbets or grooves 5 to receive the outer heads 9, by which the glass cover or plate 10 is secured in place.

11 is a bead on the inner side of the cover or plate.

12 is a board or tablet fitting in the longitudinal channels 3 of the bracket portions of the side sections.

- 13 is the sign. The tablet may be secured in position by the tacks 14 or other suitable gneans. The side sections and ends extend rearwardly, as shown.

The device may be used either with or without the glass cover. When the glass cover is dispensed with, the tablet which bears the sign is preferably either of brass or some other material that is well adapted to withstand the effects of the weather.

Having thus described my invention, the following is What I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A sign consisting of the integral side sections having longitudinal rabbets or grooves, the integral end sections having notches or cuts, the cover, and the bead, substantially as described.

2. A sign consisting of the integral side sections having longitudinal rabbets or grooves and longitudinal channels, the integral end sections having notches or cuts, the outer bead, the cover, the innerbead,and the board, substantially as described.
